A French lady in my parish was kind enough to give me several weeks ago the latest book-interview of the Guinean Cardinal Robert Sarah, in dialogue with Nicolas Diat, titled 2050, not yet published in Spanish.

Recently I thanked her again, telling her that I had liked it very much for the depth and courage of the answers. Then she asked me point-blank how the world will be on the date that gives the title to the text of the wise priest. I answered her succinctly that everything will depend on adherence to Jesus Christ.

Indeed, I believe that the synthesis of this timely, well-documented and clear-sighted volume is summed up in this dilemma: the future of humanity depends on the full fidelity of Christians to the authentic doctrine of our Lord and Master, taught and lived by the Catholic Church for twenty centuries. Where there is holiness, based on integral formation, persevering prayer and love for liturgical celebrations, and manifested in generous dedication in the multiple spheres of society and culture, there will be abundant life. 

On the other hand, those who reject the treasure of the doctrinal patrimony of the Bride of Christ, lowering and adulterating it, by accommodating it to paganism and worldly relativism, will irremediably wither away. 

Therefore, the outlook for the future is exciting for those who truly choose to follow Christ without palliatives or compromises. Tomorrow will belong to those Catholics who today live in the communion of the Church the commitment of faith, charity and evangelization.
